When Buffalo Ran is a historical non-fiction book written by George Bird Grinnell and first published in 1920. The book is a detailed account of the life and culture of the Native American Plains Indians during the 19th century, specifically focusing on the buffalo hunts that were central to their way of life. Grinnell, who was an anthropologist and historian, draws on his personal experiences and interactions with the Plains Indians to provide a vivid and authentic portrayal of their customs, traditions, and beliefs. He describes in great detail the techniques used by the tribes to hunt buffalo, the role of the buffalo in their society, and the impact that the near-extinction of the buffalo had on their way of life.The book also explores the relationships between the different tribes and their interactions with white settlers and the US government. Grinnell provides a critical analysis of the policies and actions of the government towards the Native Americans, including the forced relocation and assimilation efforts that had devastating consequences for their communities.Overall, When Buffalo Ran is a compelling and informative account of a significant period in American history, and offers valuable insights into the lives and cultures of the Plains Indians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
